Help me get more from my mobile workforce

The basics

Field Force Automation solutions can improve the operation and efficiency of mobile workforces. From teams of field service engineers to healthcare and local government employees, organisations can overcome the inherent inefficiencies and exaggerated costs of manual paper-based coordination by automating all the elements of field service and providing access to enterprise applications direct to the mobile employee.

We can help you deliver dramatic improvements in field force efficiency, with a comprehensive portfolio of services and solutions enabling your field force to access corporate data and applications where and when they need them.

And bring together expertise and deliverables across a wide range of areas, from business consultancy to solution design, systems integration, project management, implementation and the supply and in-life support of hardware and software.

The testimonies

BT clearly understands our industry and took great trouble to understand the nuances of the way we work and, therefore, what we need the devices to be capable of and what levels of service we require. BT’s solution is built on leading edge, but not bleeding edge technology, so it will be robust in operation.”- Raymond Smith, IT Strategy Development Manager, Scottish Water
